Specialists in Web Site Design & Web
Application Development
Gannett Fleming, Inc. and its subsidiary, GeoDecisions, have the
knowledge and experience to provide our public and private clients
with any type of Web site that may be required. Our commitment to
research and development ensures that we provide cutting-edge solutions
that are tailored to the clients' needs. All Web sites can be hosted
on one of Gannett's eight in-house production Web servers, which
are connected to either local SCSI drives or via fiber-channel to
large external storage devices.
The major Web services that Gannett Fleming provides for
its clients include:
Public Relations/General Web Sites
 Because
many of our clients are publicly funded entities, the Internet
provides a fast and easy way to keep the public updated and involved
throughout the life of a project. Project updates, schedule information,
team information, site photos, and even live construction feeds
and video can be delivered via the World Wide Web. This is also
a valuable way to gather feedback from the public in the form
of online surveys, message boards, and other interactive methods
of communication.
Project Collaboration Web Sites
 Need
a place to store files and information securely, while still being
accessible by the whole project team? We offer Project Collaboration
Web site services for our public and private clients. These Web
sites provide features such as task assignment, archiving and
exchange of CADD or document files, tracked requests for information,
message boards, email notification for updates, and custom applications
as needed. Collaborative sites can also be used very effectively
in conjunction with Public or GIS Web sites to provide a secure
area for team and agency communications. This type of site is
not available to the general public. Collaborative sites can provide
different levels of security for different users or team members.
On large projects with multiple contractors, access to documents
and areas of the Web site can be restricted to only those areas
that the contractor has a need to see. The Project Collaboration
system is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere
that you can access the Internet.
GIS Application Development on the World Wide
Web
The World Wide Web has great potential for distributing GIS data
(both maps and tabular data) at a low cost. Gannett Fleming and
its IT/Spatial division, GeoDecisions, maintain expertise in current
Web-based GIS solutions for developing effective Internet and
Intranet applications. GeoDecisions is a software-independent
GIS firm, utilizing Intergraph's GeoMedia Web Map, ESRI's ArcIMS,
Autodesk's MapGuide, or custom applications as needed. Our approach
is to provide Web solutions that are powerful, yet easy to maintain
and enhance once delivered to the client.

effective Internet and Intranet applications. The needs of the
client drive the technology solution that we provide.

The most successful businesses on the World
Wide Web teach us an important lesson -- when visitors come to
your Web site, you have less than 30 seconds to capture their
attention.
If the current look of your site is NOT engaging your visitors,
then it is time for a dynamic Web site "makeover." We
will revitalize your site with superior production values -- effective
communication, cutting-edge graphics, logical navigation, and
an overall sense of professionalism. We provide guidance through
every step of the redesign process to facilitate the realization
of your online business goals.
If your site is not giving you the results you had hoped for,
it may be because of its structure. We'll check out its HTML coding,
layout, download time, graphics, and attractiveness to search
engines, then we'll prepare a detailed written evaluation for
you. You select how many of the pages on your Web site you want
professionally evaluated -- you can then make the changes to the
site yourself, or have someone else do it for you.
Web Site Maintenance
For a Web site to be truly successful, it MUST be kept current
and fresh looking. That means updating with timely text content
and cutting edge visuals. By arranging for ongoing Web site maintenance,
you avoid the common mistake of putting up a Web site and then
forgetting about it.
You can contract with us to maintain your Web site on an "as
needed" basis. By outsourcing the responsibility for regular
updates, you and your staff are free to focus on your own professional
activities without the need to learn code (HTML hassles!) or buy
software, and you'll be guaranteed the same top quality production
values we bring to every project. Our clients rely on our dependable
service!
Web Site Hosting
Gannett Fleming/GeoDecisions maintain eight in-house Web servers
with a variety of software in order to provide our clients with
the custom services they need. If you choose to maintain your
Web site, we will provide direct FTP access.
